Wharton Elementary

Room Number: 409
Students per Class: 19
Class Description:
I have a diverse group of fourth grade students. Their reading levels range from second grade to nineth grade. They are very energetic and fun to be around.
Position:
teacher
Needs:
The students see all these technological devices on TV. Many of my students' families can't afford to purchase these. Many of my students don't have a computer in their home let alone access to the internet. Any new technology that I can put in their hands to create excitement in their learning experience is worth a try.
My Philosophy:
My philosophy is to show my students I really care.
